  1. I'm an amateur boxer. According to Wikipedia, during accidents and very stressful events, one will perceive time more slowly, giving one the opportunity to make rational decisions in a short amount of time. Naturally, inside of a boxing ring, where countless punches are thrown at you every second, this would be ideal. Is there a natural way to achieve this neurological state? Any psychological or physical exercises one can do before a match? To a certain degree, I am able to increase the amount of adrenaline by simply focusing on the match, warming up and imagining different scenarios that may happen in the ring, but as a counterpuncher, I'd be very interested in a way to perceive time more slowly.
  2. The first thing you mentioned would be the "hayflick limit", correct? The telomeres get's shortened each time they divide, and eventually (normally after dividing 40 to 60 times) they won't be able to divide anymore? Do you have any sources too back up on the "stem cells' telomeres never get shorter"? Would make it even more interesting if they don't.
  3. First of all: I'm just a high-school kid with no scientific education. I'm just sharing my thoughts on a topic that I deal a great lot of interest in. I would love to be corrected as I'm sure that there is plenty of flaws in my "theory" Stem cells can create new, young cells, correct? In theory, placing stem cells on a cut you got on your hand would make the skin in the area pretty much like the skin of a baby? And one will die once the telomeres of the chromosones grows so big that the cell can no longer handle it? Then, what if one replaced the cells, used plenty of stem cells and created new cells? Wouldn't this erase the concept of aging, at the very least expend one's lifetime? Just trying to start an interesting discussion here.
